I wish people wanted to treat me like a rock star. I have been told I look like a doll... so I guess that's a good thing. Thanks for your comment and your support!

I remember sometimes still being annoyed after I'd been abroad a while (more so when people tried to take pictures of me), but it makes the time a lot more enjoyable when you can roll with it and let it roll off your shoulders too. :) My friend and I got to the point that when people would point at us and shout "foreigner" in Chinese, we'd say, "Chinese person" back at them. They always laughed, so I think it was an alright way to deal with the situation. lolSaxon @ Lets Drink Coffee, Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422781928035533538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017962570125908793.post-50656727445311764462013-08-22T22:38:37.051+09:002013-08-22T22:38:37.051+09:00So, so true!

My husband is a really pasty ginger so he got all sorts of stares in Korea. He also got treated like a total rockstar by any kid--they always wanted to high five him :) I think getting into it and having fun--smiling back to the people staring, etc.--makes it a much more positive experience on both sides. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227163395973219648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017962570125908793.post-18466530118129825372013-08-22T19:58:19.072+09:002013-08-22T19:58:19.072+09:00Rachel, Thanks for leaving your comment.

I hardly even noticed it because it just seemed so normal. Plus, staring isn't considered rude there. When my husband visited the first time he was like, 'Rachel, everybody is staring at you guys...." and I was like, "Really? Oh yeah, I didn't notice." :P <br />And now that I'm in the U.S., sometimes I err a little too much on the side of being completely comfortable with staring at someone who is doing something interesting or dressed interestingly and he'll have to nudge me, "Stop staring!" I forget that you're not supposed to do that here. haha!<br />I think you've definitely chosen the best route to handle the staring!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
